September 1965 saw the founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
In 1984, the Central Government promulgated the PRC Law on National
Regional Autonomy, making this a State policy under which areas
where the ethnic minorities live in compact communities enjoy
autonomy in the political, economic and cultural fields. It also
contains stipulations related to their relations with the Central
Government. This provides legal guarantee for the Tibetans to enjoy
full autonomy.
According to the PRC Law on National Regional Autonomy, the
Tibet Autonomous Region enjoys full autonomy in such fields as
locally-related legislation, use of Tibetan language, personnel
management and exploitation of natural resources. The Tibetans take
an active part in local and State affairs in accordance with the
Constitution and the law. This is why Tibet can achieve such a big
leap-forward in social and economic development.
